of course I could be wrong.

A suggestion to Mike about The Manhattan as a product.

Since is to be a processor placed between the computer and DAC, can we have other than only a USB output? Maybe an AES/EBU, SPDIF coax, and optical?

Thx

If manhattan is between source and dac, it sounds like it could also convert digital to digital, i.e., the mythical ethernet to AES/EBU that hitherto we've turned to that Dante box for. Or USB-coax, etc.
 
Not sure if this would result in sonic improvements.

It would provide customers with more options. One may work better than others in a particular situation.

Mike already added a "buy better gear" light to Yggy. Seems like a "listen to better music" light is the natural evolution.

 
Really amazing technology would have:
* the "buy better gear" light, 
* the "buy better music" light, 
* a "drink better beer" light, 
* a "get better friends" light, and
* a "the dog wants to go out" light.

Or perhaps an automatic shut-down with a light that says "Your music is not music. This device will self destruct in 30 seconds. Good bye".

lol and it self destructs whenever the source isn't Wagner

Wagner...well, OK. Always thought he was a one-hit wonder.

He's not all I need. But -- whatever floats your boat!

  420 conventions.

 
The 420 convention adds about $20k to the subjective quality of my system.

I believe it is Richard Wagner, 1813-1883, German composer known for his operas.

It's not reading my mind, it's reading the relevant post...
 
@Baldr: I'm busy playing with the (sadly) abandoned AT&T fiber that you cleverly implemented back in the days. Ordered a AT&T 1361 RX to add ST input to my Basic IIIa (and potentially GenV) and the matching 1261 TX for the Hifiberry Digi+Pro.
I'm sure you know what I'm referring to, here 

 
Ha! You even made things really easy by providing a DIP-16 socket and the associated decoupling circuitry on the Basic IIIa 

I just needed to plug in the RX. No fun
